Industrial & Hydrocarbon Fireproofing

Industrial fireproofing for structural steel, equipment supports and critical interfaces using project-qualified intumescent, cementitious or board systems.

Technical scope

Hydrocarbon pool fire and jet fire protection for UAE oil, gas and energy assets.

Engineered for critical onshore and offshore energy infrastructure in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, including ADNOC operating zones, refinery units, chemical storage, and power generation facilities.

Systems are tested to UL 1709 rapid-temperature-rise curves (reaching 1093°C within 5 minutes) and ISO 22899 jet fire exposure, mitigating blast overpressure, structural collapse, and cryogenic liquid spill hazards.

Vortexen manages abrasive blasting to Sa 2.5, carbon/glass fiber reinforcing mesh, heavy-duty epoxy intumescent application, and high-density cementitious builds with CICPA-cleared site crews.

United Arab Emirates Compliance & Authority Pathway:Aligned with ADNOC project specifications, API RP 2218 guidelines, and UAE Civil Defence industrial facility safety requirements.

02 / Delivery route

How work moves forward

  1. Confirm fire scenario, rating and design basis
  2. Survey steel, existing coatings and exposure
  3. Validate manufacturer system and thickness schedule
  4. Control preparation, environment and application
  5. Inspect thickness, adhesion, repairs and final records
03 / Evidence expected

What buyers should expect

  • Approved system and fire-test basis
  • Section-factor and thickness schedule
  • Batch, environment and application logs
  • DFT, thickness, adhesion or density reports

Commercial and technical guardrails

What this route refuses to hide.

Fast progress is valuable only when assumptions, responsibility and limitations remain visible to the buyer and delivery team.

  • 01No cellulosic-to-hydrocarbon assumption
  • 02No generic thickness across different members
  • 03No coating over unknown or incompatible substrate
  • 04No claim of nuclear, marine or operator approval without exact evidence
